Study: Talk Therapy May Trump Medication For Social Anxiety

“New research in The Lancet Psychiatry suggests that for people with social anxiety, talk therapy may be a better option than medication,” writes a contributor to Forbes.

“The study is one of a growing number that suggests that talk therapy may rival medication for certain mental health disorders. And in the current study, cognitive behavior therapy (a positive thinking process) lives up to its reputation as the gold standard in psychotherapy.”
